Colour: Burgandy dominates everyone’s wardrobe this winter. Maroon, Merlot, Oxblood, Burgundy, whatever the name, it’s the new black and the new brown. Wear it head-to-toe, in headbands to boots or in leather or faux leather, just wear it!
Corduroy Comeback: Corduroy trousers are making a comeback, offering a stylish alternative to jeans worn street-style, retro or top to bottom. Whether straight-leg, flared, or oversized cuts, a high-waisted pair is a must-have.
Winter Dresses: Dresses are in their element this season. Cosy knit dresses, long boho styles and classic tailored designs are all popular choices. Accessorize with pearls, brooches, and fur stoles. Pair with knee-high suede boots, or, for an edgy vibe, combine a mini dress with biker boots. Alternatively, opt for a shirtdress and animal print boots.
Layer up: Oversized or cropped cardigans are a versatile must this season. Pair with a wool knit skirt or create a head-to-toe knit look and cinch with a belt.
Coats and Trench Coats: Leather-effect coats with fur trim are trending. Casual alternatives include padded coats or long gilets. Classic trench coats in camel or burgundy are timeless and can be dressed up or down. Wear them knee-length, belted, double-breasted, and with lapels – keep it simple for a chic look.
Gloves, Scarves, and Hats: Gloves, scarves, and hats are foolproof wardrobe staples. Long gloves elevate outfits with their inherent glamour. Try them in lace or tulle, in (faux) leather or adorned with diamanté and rhinestones. Maxi scarves can be worn like a cape over one shoulder or crossed over the torso. Classic knit beanies are another must-have. Playful pom-poms and spring-like colours add a fun touch.
Viral Accessory: The vintage-inspired chain belt, popularised by Chloé, is a must-have accessory. Pair with ‘90s-style jeans and a simple sweater for a casual look, or add a boho touch with a long skirt.
Goodbye Y2K, Hello Grunge: ‘90s Grunge is back this winter. Plaid shirts, cargo pants, wide-leg jeans, graphic tees, and military boots are all in. Opt for olive green or military green for a casual or dressed-up look. Denim continues to slay the runway with double denim and vintage as inspiration. Layer with cardigans, sweaters, corduroy trousers, flannel shirts, and accessories like beanies or scarves. Stick to warm tones like earth or green, and add a pop of clarity with a white shirt.
